Marseille president Pablo Longoria has called Ligue 1 a "shitty championship" following their defeat to Auxerre on Saturday.
OM lost 3-0 yesterday to fall 10 points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
And the result caused Longoria to call out the French top flight as well as the officiating in the game.
According to local paper La Provence, president Pablo Longoria āflew into a rageā post-match in the bowels of the Stade AbbĆ©-Deschamps in front of a dozen journalists.
āThis is corruption! Iāve never seen anything like it. You can write it down: Pablo Longoria says itās corruption,āĀ Longoria reportedly shouted.
āEverything has been organised since the third yellow given to Balerdi (suspended this Saturday against Auxerre).
"Itās planned, itās rigged. Thereās a penalty on Merlin, four European referees have told me so by message, and the most scandalous thing is the red card to Cornelius.
āThis is a shitty championship, If the Super League comes to see us, weāll go right away.."
